Lauren provided incredible services and counsel for me during a lengthy divorce process. She was incredibly knowledgeable and also listened to me, treating me as a smart collaborator in the process. When the process dragged on, even after the final judgment, Lauren continued to be patient and respond... to me regularly. The agreement that Lauren negotiated for me has served me in good stead. She is a great professional who cares about her clients and has extremely reasonable rates. I always recommend her to friends and acquaintances and I recommend her highly here as well.

Ms. Friend represented me during my divorce. She was always professional, courteous, and kept in constant contact with me. Going through a divorce was a trying time for my children and me but having Ms.Friend by my side the entire way made it easier. The fact that she took the time to truly get to kn...ow me and the situation and I wasn't just some person getting divorced meant the world to me. I highly recommend Ms. Friend to anyone who is seeking a knowledgeable and efficient attorney.

I retained Lauren Friend as my divorce attorney. Her last name says it all! From day one she never made me feel like a client but rather a friend. No matter how you slice it, divorce is a nightmare but Lauren was the best part of my experience! She is extremely professional and very knowledgable ...of the law which kept me at ease throughout the hardest time of my life! She truly is an amazing lawyer and made me feel like my case was the only case she was working on! Still to this day we stay in contact whether it's Lauren checking in on me or me just sending a text to say hello!
